Milinx Business Group, Inc. (OTCBB:MIXBA) announced that it is pre-selling its new miPORTAL end-to-end solution for small and medium sized businesses on the Internet.

miPORTAL is offered to individual business sectors (verticals) in the largest North American markets for a base $10,000 set-up fee and monthly charges for continuing maintenance. It is designed to economically provide businesses with the integrated-solution capabilities that were previously affordable only by the world's biggest corporations.

miPORTAL buyers will have a wide variety of features to drive traffic to their sites:

- Web-delivered multi-channel and multi-media marketing

- Web-delivered intranet to attract and retain employees, or maintain customer
communities without adding in-house hardware or technical experts

- Web-delivered extranet through which suppliers and partners work together

- Web-delivered infranets (information portals) to deliver news and advice
targeted to specific industries, keeping the supplier-to-business-to-custo mer
environment collaborative and interesting for stakeholders

- Customer knowledge-base to track and proactively market based on visitors
preferences and interests

- Sell Milinx products and services to anyone on the Web, and retain them with
targeted content and personalization features

miPORTAL will combine tailored content and Milinx software, which integrates Web-delivered business solutions for communications, e-commerce and productivity. President and CEO Maynard L. Dokken said, "miPORTAL will take the usual portal concept to a different level." He added, "It will make a new level of collaboration among businesses and consumers economical. It is supplier-to-business-to-consumer, real-time."

From the growing discontent of Internet users with the horizontal Internet portal model, Milinx has positioned miPORTAL as the vertical Internet portal model to emerged as a viable and compelling response to the needs and wants of increasingly more discriminating and sophisticated Internet users.

The vertical Internet portal model exists in sharp contrast to the horizontal Internet portal model. Vertical portal sites are online communities that offer specific information to a group of people with common professional interests, personal interests, or hobbies. Often they are focused on a specific industry, profession or interest and offer value-added services, online forums, and applications. Milinx provides these value-added services as well as the applications, building a complete revenue model for its' customers, by branding it's own proprietary applications for subscription through its customers miPORTAL sites.

The Milinx miPORTAL site is designed to direct traffic to individual vertical markets within specific metropolitan areas. Targeted verticals include agriculture, automotive, consumer products, health care professional services, computing, communications, financial services, real estate, food and hospitality, entertainment, and recreation.

Milinx end-to-end Web-delivered solutions include the integrated miMESSAGING unified messaging, miSTORE and miCATALOG e-commerce, miCUSTOMER customer relationship management, miCALENDAR Web-based scheduling, miMAIL secure e-mail, miSALES sales force automation and miCONTENT information and news feeds. All these can be branded and developed for any market.

Milinx miPORTAL is the next leading edge model for e-commerce, to attract visitors, build communities and generate sales in real-time.
